Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.
The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age，” said the head of the study，David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.
“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men，” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's.
“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men，” said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart，” said Goldspink.
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.
36．The underlined word “longevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to “________”．
A．health B．long life
C．ageing D．effect
37．The text mainly talks about ________.
A．men's heart cells
B．women's ageing process
C．the gender difference
D．hearts and long life
38．According to the text, the UK scientists have known that ________.
A．women have more cells than men when they are born
B．women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat
C．the female heart loses few of the cells with age
D．women never lose their pumping power with age
39．If you want to live longer, you should ________.
A．enable your heart to beat much faster
B．find out the reason for ageing
C．exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy
D．prevent your cells from being lost
40．We can know from the passage that ________.
A．the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out
B．scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells
C．the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss of the cells
D．women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20
B
It is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented.And at first sight，it looks like the easiest.Competitors have to do two things.The first is to stand still.The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car，and keep it there.
This is where things start getting difficult.Lots of people are doing the same thing.And the winner of the “handathon” contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time.That person gets to own the car.
It still seems to be an easy thing to do.At the beginning it is.Anyone can stand still.But when the contest has been going for four or five days，standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world.And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention.After a few days，the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.
Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat，drink or do whatever else is necessary.No one is allowed to lean on the car for support.Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention.They also need to be able to develop special skills.
Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter.Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don't seem to do much preparation.Most say they will prepare by “getting lots of sleep”．Others say they will “eat healthy food” or “pray for success”．The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.
Handathons are competitions，but there is little rivalry (敌对) between competitors.They help each other out and keep each other's spirits up.People who drop out early return with food，drink and encouragement.
41．The reason why the sport is called “handathon” is that competitors ________.
A．cover a long distance
B．keep hands in place for long
C．wave hands as long as possible
D．do the same thing as in a marathon
42．What ability is likely to be needed most in a handathon?
A．Standing without any support.
B．Not leaning on the car.
C．Eating and drinking in five minutes.
D．Having strong powers of attention.
43．Why is handathon popular?
A．Someone can win with special training.
B．It doesn't need to make any preparation.
C．Anyone who is interested can join in it.
D．People get along well with each other in it.
44．What is the writer's opinion about handathon?
A．It is not as easy as it looks at first.
B．It is the easiest of all sports.
C．It can purify people's spirits.
D．It is not good competing in a handathon.
45．Which of the following about handathon is not right?
A．The person who takes part in it should stand still.
B．The person who takes part in it has to place his hands anywhere on the body of a car，and keep it there.
C．The person who takes part in it can have a break during the course of the competition.
D．Handathons are competitions，so competitors don't encourage each other.
C
During the twentieth century there has been a great change in the life of women.A woman marrying at the end of nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties，and would be likely to have seven or eight children，of whom four or five lived till they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen，the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years，during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer children.Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.
This is an important change in women's life and has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic(经济的) position.Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job.However，when they married they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the school-learning age is sixteen，many girls stay at school after that age，and though women marry younger，more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage(婚姻)，with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.
46．We are told that in a family about 1900 ________.
A．few children died before they were five
B．seven or eight children lived to be more than five
C．the youngest child would be fifteen
D．four or five children died before they were five
47．One reason why a married woman of today may take a job is that she ________.
A．is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves
B．does not like children herself
C．needn't worry about food for her children
D．can be free from family duties when she reaches sixty
48．Many women are now likely to ________.
A．give up their jobs after they are married
B．leave school as soon as they can
C．marry so that they get a job
D．continue working until they are going to have a baby
49．According to the passage，it is now quite usual for women to ________.
A．stay at home after leaving school
B．marry men younger than themselves
C．start working when their children old enough
D．marry while still at school
50．Now a husband probably ________.
A．plays a greater part in looking after the children
B．helps his wife by doing most of the housework
C．feels dissatisfied with his part in the family
D．takes a part-time job so that he can help in the home

Ⅳ.阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)
[1] It's wrong that intelligent people are better at learning languages.Most language learning skills，however，are in fact habit.Here are the most common mistakes language learners make—and how to correct them.
[2] Not listening enough
Just as babies learn to produce language by hearing and parroting sounds，language learners need to practise listening.The solution? Find music，TV shows and movies in the target language，and listen，listen，listen, as often as possible.
[3] Lack of curiosity
In language learning，attitude can be a key factor in how a student progresses.A learner who is curious about the target culture will be more successful in their language studies.
[4] Rigid thinking
Some students tend to struggle with language learning because it involves a lot of uncertainty—students will meet new vocabulary daily，and for each grammar rule there will be an exception.Until native-like fluency is achieved，there will always be some level of uncertainty.Find a passage in the language and practice figuring out the main idea，even if a few words are unknown.
[5] A single method
Some learners are most comfortable with the listen-and-repeat drills of a language lab.Some need a grammar textbook to make sense of a foreign tongue.Each of these approaches is fine，but it's a mistake to ________.
[6] Fear to speak
Despite years of studying the language，students simply will not speak it.They're too afraid of the clumsy grammar or mispronouncing words in a way that would embarrass them.The key is that those mistakes help language learners.The more learners speak，the more quickly they improve.
56．What might be the best way to deal with not listening enough？(no more than 5 words)
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
57．How do we overcome rigid thinking in passage reading？(no more than 6 words)

A New Discovery—A Mysterious Animal
Chinese_scientists_are_again_becoming_excited_about_the_fact_that_a_large_hairy_animal_may_live_in_central_China.Their_excitement_comes_from_the_new_sighting_of_the_mysterious_animal_in_Hubei_Province.
Several Chinese engineers saw three tall animals，covered with long dark hair，looking like large monkeys，when they were on holiday in Shennongjia，hubei Province.
After the sighting，Chinese scientists have set up a special group to make a further study.They returned to the forest and collected some hair.They also found some huge footprints，which were much larger than footprints left by other animals.
However，some experts refuse to believe that this mysterious animal exists，claiming that the natural environment in Shennongjia can not support such animals.
Does this mysterious animal really exist? So far it still remains a mystery to the scientists.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Steven Felton is a man with a mission.He gave up his job to follow his childhood dream—finding the Loch Ness monster.
Mr.Felton，aged 34，left his home in southwest England to live by the loch(湖)in the Scottish highlands.Now he is Britain's only professional monster hunter，endlessly driving his car up and down the 38-kilometre shoreline of the loch.
He keeps himself going by selling clay Loch Ness models to tourists.He photographs and films the loch and takes echo soundings in the hope of finding some evidence of the existence of the“animal”，a name he gave the Loch Ness monster.
Mr.Felton says that one sighting of an unexplained “disturbance” on the water by himself plus a large collection of other sightings by other people has led him to believe that there are 20 to 30 Loch Ness monsters.He is certain that the “animal” is about the size of a minibus and has a back shaped like an upturned boat.
His faith in the monster's existence goes back to his childhood when his family took him on a picnic to the loch at the age of seven.“I got hooked(钩住)on the Loch Ness monster as a kid，and I still find it fascinating that in the British Isles，which is all completely mapped out and about which we know almost everything，there is still a mystery unexplained.”
Since he arrived in Scotland six years ago，the stories he has collected，together with information from the occasional visiting scientific research team have made him believe in the existence of the “animal”，“The scientists often say that they have found something，but nothing conclusive.But it all adds a little each time，” he said.
1．How does Felton support himself in the Scottish highlands?
A．He receives money from a university for his research.
B．He makes films about the Loch Ness monster for TV.
C．He sells clay models of Loch Ness monster to visitors.
D．He is employed by government to hunt the Loch Ness monster.
2．Felton's belief that there are many Loch Ness monsters is based on________.
A．other people's opinions about monsters
B．echo soundings he has taken at Loch Ness
C．a number of sightings made by himself and other people
D．the photos of the monster he has taken over the years
3．What does the word“mission”in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A．job B．duty
C．thought D．dream
4．Mr.Felton believes that research on the Loch Ness monster________.
A．is slowly proving that the monster exists
B．definitely proves the existence of the monster
C．casts more doubts on the existence of the monster
D．does not help people better understand the monster
5．Which of the following would be the BEST title for this story?
A．A Mystery Explained
B．A Mad Man and His Monster
C．The Man Who Fell For a Monster
D．The Loch Ness Monster—Found at Last

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
More than one slippery(狡猾的)creatures are said to be living in the Loch Ness.In many cases，people have reported seeing a humped(背部隆起的)“what-is-it”for over 30 years.
For a long time the mysterious monster was considered just a joke.But things changed in 1966.Then，some photo experts of the Royal Air Force reported on their study of a film of the“monster”．They said that there really was some huge object in the Loch Ness and it's probably alive!
The man who “caught” Nessie on film was Tim Dinsdale.One day in 1960，he was driving slowly along a road above the black water of the Loch Ness.Suddenly，he spotted a reddish-brown，hump-backed object floating about 1,600 yards away.
He hurriedly stopped his car and grabbed his camera.The thing began moving toward the far shore.Dinsdale filmed what he was sure was the back of a huge animal.It was half in and half out of the water.The creature swam away in a slow zigzag(之字形 )course.Soon it disappeared in a giant splash of foam(泡沫)．But Tim Dinsdale had Nessie's picture on 40 feet of film!
The film was shown on TV programs all over the world.Unfortunately，scientists who study animals(zoologists)still laughed about Nessie.But a small group of interested people decided to investigate further.They set up the Loch Ness Phenomena Investigation Bureau.In 1964，the group gave Dinsdale's film to the photo experts of the Royal Air Force.“Here's a film，”said the group.“Tell us what's on it.”
The 1966 report of the RAF made “Nessie” respectable.
1．Who made Nessie believable?
A．The small group. B．Tim Dinsdale.
C．Some zoologists. D．Some experts of RAF.
2．Which statement is true?
A．The RAF studied Nessie carefully for six years.
B．Tim Dinsdale once caught Nessie.
C．Before 1966，few believed there was a monster in the Loch Ness.
D．Zoologists studied Dinsdale's photo at first.
3．What does the word“investigate”mean in the last but one paragraph?
A．track down B．spot
C．film D．look into
B
At 2：30 on December 5,1945，five US Navy training planes took off in clear weather from the base Lauderdale，Florida.The planes flew east over the coast...and disappeared.The group was Flight 19，on a run between Florida and Bahamas.Tailor was the group leader.At about 3：40，Tailor reported that his compasses were not reading properly.The other planes followed their leaders aimlessly，first east，then west，then northeast over the ocean，as Tailor tried to make sure of the direction by radio.Then，suddenly Tailor was heard to give orders to dive...
Quickly，two giant Martin seaplanes were sent up to search for Flight 19.Several hours later，the wind became strong and visibility(能见度)dropped.A return to base was ordered.But only one of the Martin seaplanes landed.Four days later，the Navy and Coast Guard combed a 100,000 square miles area with more than 100 planes and ships.No sign was ever shown of the missing planes.
Today，people have noted the disappearance of many ships and planes in the southwest part of the North Atlantic and began to call this area the Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角区)．
The points of the triangle are Bermuda，Puerto Rico and a spot in the Gulf of Mexico，west of Florida.It is a two-faced water world of tiny islands，bright beaches and beautiful waters.Yet thick fogs，powerful currents(激流)and sudden storms are hidden behind this smiling surface.
4．Why did Flight 19 disappear?
A．Because the wind became strong and visibility dropped.
B．Because Tailor was given wrong orders to dive.
C．Because Tailor couldn't read his compasses correctly.
D．Because something unknown made the compasses unable to work as usual.
5．In what position did Flight 19 disappear?
A．In the southwest part of the North Atlantic Ocean.
B．In the northeast part of the North Atlantic Ocean.
C．To the southwest part of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.
D．To the northeast part of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.
6．How many planes disappeared altogether that day?
A．Five. B．Six.
C．Two. D．Only one.
7．Which of the following shows the correct position of the Bermuda Triangle？(F ＝Florida，Bm ＝ Bermuda，PR ＝ Puerto Rico，Bh＝ Bahamas，MG ＝ the Gulf of Mexico，Atl＝ the Atlantic Ocean，B＝ Base)
8．The underlined word“combed”in the passage means________.
A．covered with
B．flew over
C．did up one's hair with a comb
D．searched all over
